WESTERN PROSPERITY.
The Stupendous Growth of tho states and
Cities West of the Mississippi.

The striking feature of our progress
in the extreme West is in the unprece-
dentcd settlement of the country, and
the concurrent growth Of its railway
system. We built over 1000 miles Of
new road in 1876, and shalr probably
construct wei 5000 miles in 1887.
This is apart from side-tracks, re-
newals, and, in some cases, double
tracking. But the great bulk of this
new railroad construction is west of the
Mississippi. The growth Of the new
cities in this region is some
thing phenomenal. Chicago and
San Francisco have been built
up almost in our generation; but
the growth of St. Paul, Minneapolis,
Kansas City, Omaha, Denver. and q
dozen other points that might be men,
toned, has been so rapid as to be
scarcely credible. 1t is only a few
years since a congressional wit sneered
at Duluth as 1.-THE zenith city of the
unsalted seas" but this is no longer a
jest, but a fact; for in seven years Du-
luth has increased its population from
5000 to $4,000, and it is keeping this
increase up. Chicago, of course, con-
tinues to grow, but it is having rivals
at all points Of the compass west of its
own longitude. The great dcpots of
grain. provisions and lumber. instead
OF being concentrated at Chicago, now
come directly east from its more West.
ern rivals. In the oldcn times, during
the decline of the Roman Empire, the
mighty hordes Of the barbarian emf.
grants came from Central Asia, with
arms in their hands. to occupy the rich
and fertile plains of Europe. But the
huge tides of emigration from Europe
and the Eastern States pour over the
Mississippi, bringing with them tools
and capital, to occupy the vacant land
and subdue the wilderness. The census OF
1890 will tell of the stupendous growth
OF the cities and States west of the
Mississippi There is nothing like il
IN ancient or modern history.--Den,-

OUR BOYS AND GIRLS.
HOW TO DO IT.

When I'm q grown-up woman.
Just like mamma, you know,
I'm going to have the daintiest things
When / have learned to sew.
I'll hemstitch and embroider,
And aesthetic patters trace,
And I'll trim my frills with needlework
As delicate as lace.
Whom I'm a grown-up woman.
I'm going to learn to make
The most delicious buildings
And thirteen kinds OF cake;
Nv bread shall be the lightest
And the whitest in the town,
And your mouth will water when you ~
My coffee, golden brown.
When I'm a grown-up woman.
And have q house to keep,
mustn't slight the corners
When l have learned to sweep;
The busting and the cleaning
must always do with care,
And o cobweb!-I should blush with shame
To find one anywhere.
But when mamma this morning
Was brushing out my curls,
She smiled and said that women
Are grown.up little girls;
And to gain such skillful fingers,
The only certain way
Is to learn to work while l am young,
And practice every day.

The society journals are the only news
papers in London which print anything like
gossip or free comment upon the actions of
royal people or of high officials, yet the So
ciety papers are divided into two classes
the effusively fulsome and the odiously vul-
gar. One class praises and writes on its
knees, using capital letters at every point
to show reverence and humility, while the
other stands up and INDUCES in coarse in

pursue the middle course and speak of cur
rent affairs with good nature and at the same
time with carefulness as to truth and some
regard for decency would undoubtedly be
very popular. The society papers which at
tack the higher classes as they are generally
understood, depend almost entirely upon
their imagination for their facts They tell
with the most glib familiarity the most pre-
